3/8" aluminum diamond plate

3/8 inch (about 9.5mm) aluminum diamond plate (Aluminum Diamond Plate) is an aluminum alloy sheet with anti-slip patterns, widely used in industrial, construction, and transportation fields.

A 3/8-inch aluminum diamond plate, also known as aluminum tread plate or checker plate, is a thick, durable sheet of aluminum characterized by its raised diamond pattern on the surface. This type of aluminum plate is renowned for its strength, lightweight properties, and slip-resistant surface.

3/8" Aluminum Diamond Plate Materials and Specifications

Common Alloys: 1060, 3003, 5052, 6061, among which 6061 and 5052 are commonly used due to their high strength and strong corrosion resistance.
Thickness: 3/8 inch (9.5mm) belongs to medium-thick plates, suitable for heavy load scenarios.
Common Sizes: Standard sheets include 4x8 ft, 4x10 ft, and smaller custom sizes (e.g., 24x24 inches). Larger sizes such as 48x192 inches are also available.
Surface Treatment: Diamond patterns (five-bar or diamond) provide anti-slip performance, and some products can be customized with mirror finish or anodized finish.
Pattern: The embossed diamond pattern enhances anti-slip properties and adds decorative appeal. The back is smooth, making installation easy.

How much does 3 8 diamond plate weigh?

The weight of a 3/8-inch aluminum diamond plate can be calculated based on its size and density, approximately 0.0975 pounds per cubic inch (2.7 grams per cubic centimeter). For example, a 4x8-foot sheet weighs about 100 pounds (45 kilograms) or more, depending on the specific dimensions.

Other Thickness Choices for Aluminum Diamond Plate

3/8 inch aluminum diamond plate is a versatile material, ideal for heavy-duty anti-slip applications. The choice of alloy (3003, 4017, or 6061-T6) depends on strength, formability, and environmental requirements. While it offers excellent durability and corrosion resistance, users should consider its slipperiness in wet environments and the possibility of oxidation if left uncoated. For projects requiring structural integrity or decorative appearance, this material is a reliable solution.
